Blessing Blocker - Inferiority
When we think of inferiority we don’t usually see it as something that would block our blessings. In Dr. David Yonggi Cho’s book The Fourth Dimension he says, “That If people feel that they are inferior because they live in the slum area, you cannot pull them out. Perhaps they failed in their businesses and have resigned themselves to be a failure. But so long as they have this attitude, you cannot help them. You must ask each to surrender his inferiority complex, and let himself be reconstructed by the love of God.”
This passage brought to my mind the caste system in India. The caste system divides Hindus into four main categories - Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. The main castes were further divided into about 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes, each based on their specific occupation. Outside of this Hindu caste system were the achhoots - the Dalits or the untouchables https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-35650616.The caste system in India have put people in bondage based on their religious beliefs and as Dr. Cho said the change can only come from surrendering to God.
Many of us do not live under that religion and we have choices on what we chose to do with our lives. However, we can be so deceived in this world by the occupation of what a person does and the sum of their income that we let it hinder our opportunity to have all the blessings God has stored up for us. God does not want us to feel inferior to anyone because we are each made in His image. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them Genesis 1:27. No one is better than anyone else. A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. Proverbs 18:16, KJV
It does not matter how many failures we have experienced, or how little the income that we currently have, we are just as valuable as the president of our country. God does not want us to compare ourselves to others. This jams up the pipeline for us to receive our blessings. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, Galatians 6:4-5,
Father,
Thank you for this word! We want to receive all the blessings that you have for us. We know that, “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice” James 3:16. This will cause us to miss out on all you have stored up for us. We surrender our inferiority complex, to you and we release ourselves to be reconstructed by the love of God.
